I also never liked asparagus growing up but now I love it. I am anxiously awaiting for them to arrive at the markets here!

I love Rachel’s blog! Thanks, Anne, for sharing this piece about her and her delicious ways with asparagus. I would never have thought to cook it in a microwave or use it raw in a salad. What a perfect vegetable to herald spring!🌿

I had no idea you could microwave asparagus! I don't eat it often, but this is good to know.

Enjoyed the article. I never ate asparagus till I worked in the grocery store in high school/college. I make it crisp-tender.

My grandma was a Phipps from Tennessee--there are lots of Phipps in Northeast Tennessee.

I've never had hollandaise before. Mom's asparagus and eggs was something we all looked forward to. I tried making it. How hard can it be right? It never tasted like Mom's.
